Why patients choose Famagusta
North Cyprus (TRNC) is not in the EU, and its clinics operate under different rules than the south - most notably no upper age limit for donor recipients and fewer restrictions on sex selection where legal.
Famagusta hosts several long-established donor-egg centres and is popular with international patients on tighter budgets, especially for donor cycles.
- No hard upper age limit for donor-egg treatment.
- Package deals commonly bundle transfers, hotel and airport pickup.
- Large donor pool - waits are usually days, not weeks.
